It contains spoilers for “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”, but if you made it this far without seeing the movie, you probably don’t care. The sequel to ‘Doctor Strange’ has already been released in digital format, so fans of the film can now watch it over and over again at home or with audio commentary turned on, an extra that always reveals very interesting production details and decisions that are not yes. see on the screen. In this case we will talk about one of the key moments of the story, not on a narrative level, but as the big surprise that made us jump from our chairs (even if the screaming voices did not make it easy): John Krasinski in the role of Reed Richards . For years, both the actor and the world at large have been asking Marvel Studios to cast Krasinski as Mr. Fantastic from “Fantastic Four” and in the end have their requests fulfilled, in fact, for asking.
According to The Direct, director Sam Raimi explains during the audio commentary how easy that particular casting process was: “It’s so funny that Kevin [Feige] he chose giovanni [Krasinski] because fans dreamed he would be the perfect Reed Richards. And since this is an alternate universe, I think Kevin said, “Let’s make that dream come true.” I’ve always really enjoyed all of his work. “Michael Waldron, the screenwriter, also spoke, talking about what an honor it was to work with him: “Reed Richards is my favorite Marvel Comics character, so it was a real honor to be able to write his first entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. John is an incredible actor and a great partner in bringing this role to life for the first time.” .
Not everything is so beautiful
Of course, carefully analyzing Raimi’s words, perhaps Krasinski did not come to stay. It is true that a ‘Fantastic 4’ movie is on the way, announced by Marvel Studios at the end of 2020, even if it does not yet have a director or a release date. Well, even if the project goes on, it wouldn’t necessarily count on Krasinski because Raimi says it very clearly. “Because this is an alternate universe …”. Who will finally play this stretchy superhero? The rumors also point to Andrew Lincoln of “The Walking Dead”, but we will have to wait for an official confirmation.
